Hanifin has a goal and an assist to lead Flames past Maple Leafs

Led by Noah Hanifin's goal and an assist, the Calgary Flames erupted for four goals in the second period on Thursday in a 5-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs, extending Calgary's winning streak to five games.

Calgary, which has played the fewest home games in the league, has five games remaining on a seven-game homestand that will continue on Saturday night when the New York Islanders are in town.

Rasmus Sandin and Michael Bunting scored for Toronto (30-11-3), which had its six-game winning streak snapped. The Leafs were kicking off a three-game road trip that sees them next play in Vancouver on Saturday.

Mitch Marner had his eight-game goal and point-streak snapped. He had piled up 19 points over that span (10 goals, nine assists).

Jacob Markstrom made his 11th straight start for Calgary and coming off a 6-0 shutout over Vegas on Wednesday, he was excellent once again making 46 stops to improve to 19-10-5.

Jack Campbell, making his first start since Feb. 1, was credited with 21 stops. His record falls to 21-7-3.

Toronto opened the scoring at 3:49 of the second period when the Flames got caught scrambling around in their own end and eventually Sandin fired a puck past Markstrom.

But the lead was short lived as Mangiapane took a no-look backhand pass from Mikael Backlund and fired a shot past Campbell to tie it 24 seconds later.

Calgary eventually blew the game open with three goals in a span of less than three minutes.

At 13:03, Andersson jumped up into the rush and sent a pass across the top of the crease that was steered in by Hanifin, his defence partner.

At 15:54 with the half-capacity Saddledome still buzzing, Calgary made it 4-1 with Lindholm picking the corner after receiving a drop pass from Johnny Gaudreau.
